This is what Friday Night Lights look like in Savage Country. 🏈💛
The players on the field. The cheerleaders on the sidelines. The students in the stands. The families and fans who show up week after week.
Friday nights in Savannah are about more than football — they're about community.
We're proud to join @savannahsavagefb and @savcheerteam in showing @TMobile what makes Savage Nation special.

Got a SchoolStatus Connect invitation today? It’s really us!
Savannah R3 sent a new round of invitations today to families who haven't yet joined SchoolStatus Connect. We know an unexpected email or text with a link can look suspicious, so we wanted to confirm that these messages are legitimate.
SchoolStatus Connect is our district-approved two-way communication platform used by schools, teachers, coaches and sponsors to share updates and communicate with students and families.
One quick note: If your student has already graduated or is no longer enrolled at SR3 and you received an invitation, you can disregard it. We're looking into why a few inactive records were included.

1 Day to Go!
🎒 TOMORROW. IS. THE. DAY.
One more sleep, SR3 Family! A little prep tonight can make tomorrow morning a whole lot easier:
👕 Lay out the first-day outfit.
🎒 Pack the backpack.
🥪 Pack the lunch — and make sure they can open it. 😉
📸 Print that First Day of School sign and pick the perfect picture spot.
🚌 Double-check the morning transportation plan.
⏰ Set the alarm. Maybe two.
😴 And then... GET SOME SLEEP!
Parents, you've done the shopping, filled out the forms, attended the events, figured out the bus routes, and somehow made it through another summer.
We've got it from here.
Our staff will be ready and waiting when the doors open at 7:15 tomorrow morning. We can't wait to see our students!

2 Days to Go! ⏰ WAIT! What time does school actually start?!
We're officially close enough that it's time to start thinking about Wednesday morning logistics. Here's your quick first-day cheat sheet:
Early Learning Center
Morning Session: 8:00–11:00 a.m.
Afternoon Session: 12:00–3:00 p.m.
Elementary Schools
7:40 a.m.–2:40 p.m.
Savannah Middle School
7:50 a.m.–3:05 p.m.
Savannah High School
7:35 a.m.–2:48 p.m.
🚪 One important morning reminder: School doors open at 7:15 a.m. Students should not be dropped off before that time, as staff is not available to supervise students before the doors open.
The first few mornings may take a little longer than usual as everyone gets back into the routine, so give yourself some extra time and patience in those drop-off lines.
Bus rider? Remember, routes can also run up to 30 minutes behind during the first week as drivers and students settle into the new routine.
Set those alarms — 2 DAYS, SR3 Family! #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

3 Days to Go! 🥪 It's time for the Great Lunchbox Test!
If your student will be packing lunch for school, take a few minutes today for a practice run.
Can they open their lunchbox? Twist open the thermos? GoGurt tubes and Lunchables are notoriously difficult.
Our staff will always be there to lend a hand, especially with our youngest students, but lunchtime moves quickly. The more students can manage independently, the more time they have to actually eat their lunch.
Not packing? We've got you covered! Swipe to check out what's on the school menu for our first three days back.
You can always find current breakfast and lunch menus on the Savannah R3 website or in the SR3 app.

4 Days to Go!
As we get ready to head back to school, here's an important reminder: Savannah R3 schools are cell phone-free from the first bell to the last bell.
That means cell phones and other personal electronic devices should remain put away throughout the school day, including passing periods and lunch.
This weekend is a great time to talk about the expectation at home and make a plan for staying connected. Need to reach your student during the school day? Call the school office. We'll make sure they get the message.
Fewer distractions. More opportunities to learn, connect, and be present.

2026-2027 BUS ROUTES ARE NOW AVAILABLE!
A few things to know before you start searching:
Search by Student ID: Student names are not included on the public route list. You'll need your student's ID number, which you can find in TeacherEase under Locker/Lunch PIN.
Check both AM and PM: Morning and afternoon bus numbers and stops may be different.
Expect first-week delays: Pickup and drop-off times are estimates, and buses may run up to 30 minutes behind schedule during the first few days as everyone gets back into the routine.
Registered after July 1 or requested a change? Your student or requested change may not appear on a route until after Labor Day.
Questions about your route? Contact Durham Bus Company directly at 816-324-1400. School offices do not create or manage bus routes.
Routes will continue to be updated as new information becomes available, so families should check again before the first day of school.

😴 Day 8 of the 12 Days of Back-to-School... When's Bedtime?
We hate to be the ones to say it, but those glorious summer nights of staying up late and sleeping even later are about to meet their old nemesis:
⏰ THE SCHOOL MORNING ALARM.
With just over a week to go, now is a great time to start inching bedtimes and wake-up times back toward the school-year routine. Your August 26 self may thank you. 😂
No need to flip the switch overnight — just start nudging things in the right direction.
And yes, we're talking to the teenagers too. We know you're awake. 👀 #SR3Family #WeAreSR3
